1 In heavenly love abiding,
  
no change my heart shall fear;
  
and safe is such confiding,
  
for nothing changes here:
  
the storm may roar without me,
  
my heart may low be laid;
  
but God is round about me,
  
and can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
  
no want shall turn me back;
  
my Shepherd is beside me,
  
and nothing can I lack:
  
his wisdom ever waketh,
  
his sight is never dim,
  
he knows the way he taketh,
  
and I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
  
which yet I have not seen;
  
bright skies will soon be o'er me,
  
where darkest clouds have been;
  
my hope I cannot measure,
  
my path to life is free;
  
my Saviour has my treasure,
  
and he will walk with me.
